AMENDED AND RESTATED 2004 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

SUB-PLAN FOR FRENCH EMPLOYEES AND CORPORATE OFFICERS




PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER




This PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT, dated                      _____, 200_

(the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by UGI
Corporation (“UGI”) to                      (the “Participant”).



RECITALS




The UGI Corporation Amended and Restated 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”)
provides for the grant of performance units (“Performance Units”) with respect to shares of common
stock of UGI (“Shares”). The Sub-Plan for French Employees and Corporate Officers (the “Sub-Plan”)
sets forth the terms and conditions applicable to the Performance Units granted under Section 9 of
the Plan to employees and corporate officers who are, or may become, liable to taxation on
compensation in France. The Board of Directors of UGI (the “Board”) has decided to grant
Performance Units to the Participant under the Sub-Plan.



NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree
as follows:



1. Grant of Performance Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant
Letter, in the Plan and in the Sub-Plan, the Board hereby grants to the Participant _____ Performance Units. The number of Performance Units set forth above is the maximum number of Shares
that may be earned pursuant to this award. The Performance Units are contingently awarded and will
be earned (and the corresponding ownership of Shares will be transferred to the Participant) after
the expiration of the Measurement Period (as defined below) if and to the extent that the
performance goals and other conditions of the Grant Letter are met.



2. Performance Goals.



(a) The Participant shall earn the right to issuance of Shares corresponding to the
Performance Units after the expiration of the Measurement Period if the performance goals described
in subsection (b) below are met for the Measurement Period, and if the Participant continues to be
employed by, or provide service to, the Company (as defined in the Plan) at least until the
expiration of the Measurement Period (except in the event of death, Disability or Retirement of the
Participant). The Measurement Period is the period beginning January 1, 200_ and ending December
31, 200_. The Measurement Period will correspond under French law to the “période d’acquisition”
as referred to under section L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code.


 


 









 





(b) The maximum number of Performance Units set forth in Section 1 hereof will be payable if
UGI’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) equals the highest TSR of a peer group for the Measurement
Period. The peer group is the group of companies that comprises the S&P Utilities Index during the
Measurement Period. The actual amount of the award of Performance Units may be lower than the
maximum award, or even zero, based on UGI’s TSR percentile rank relative to the companies in the
S&P Utilities Index, as follows:



	 	 	 	 	 
	UGI’s TSR Rank	 	 	 
	(Percentile)	 	Percentage of Maximum Award Earned	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Highest
	 	 	100	%
	90th
	 	 	87.5	%
	75th
	 	 	75.0	%
	60th
	 	 	62.5	%
	50th
	 	 	50.0	%
	40th
	 	 	25.0	%
	less than 40th
	 	 	0	%






The percentage of Performance Units earned will be interpolated between each of the measuring
points.



(c) TSR shall be calculated by UGI using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg
L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The share price used for determining TSR at
the beginning and the end of the Measurement Period will be the average price for the 90-day period
preceding the beginning of the Measurement Period (i.e., the 90-day period ending on December 31,
200_) and the 90-day period ending on the last day of the Measurement Period (i.e., the 90-day
period ending on December 31, 200_).



(d) The percentage of the maximum award earned shall be based on UGI’s TSR rank as described
in clause (b) of this Section 2 and will determine the number of Performance Units (and the number
of Shares corresponding to the Performance Units) acquired by the Participant.



(e) At the end of the Measurement Period, the Compensation and Management Development
Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) will determine whether and to what extent the performance
goals have been met and the number of Shares to be issued with respect to the Performance Units.
Except as described in Section 3 below, the Participant must be employed by, or providing service
to, the Company on December 31, 200_ in order for the Participant to receive Shares with respect to
the Performance Units.

3. Termination of Employment or Service.



(a) Except as described below, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company
terminates on or before the end of the Measurement Period, the Performance Units granted under
this Grant Letter will be forfeited.



(b) If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement (as defined
in Section 8) or Disability (as defined in Section 8), the Participant will earn a pro-rata
portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units, if the performance goals and the
requirements of this Grant Letter are met. The prorated portion will be determined as the number
of Shares that would otherwise be issuable after the end of the Measurement Period, based on
achievement of the performance goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of calendar years during the Measurement Period in which the Participant has been employed
by, or provided service to, the Company and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the
proration calculation, the calendar year in which the Participant’s termination of employment or
service on account of Retirement or Disability occurs will be counted as a full year.



(c) In the event of termination of employment or service on account of Retirement or
Disability, the prorated number of Shares shall be issued after the end of the Measurement Period,
pursuant to Section 4 below.



(d) In the event of termination of employment or service on account of death, the
representative of the Participant’s estate may ask within six months of the death to receive
immediately the Shares issuable with respect to the Performance Units granted to the Participant.



4. Payment with Respect to Performance Units. If the Committee determines that the
conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall issue to the
Participant, between January 1, 20____ and March 15, 20____, the number of Shares based on the
achievement of the performance goals, up to the maximum award specified in Section 1 above.



5. Standstill Period.



(a) After the Measurement Period has expired and during the Standstill Period (as defined
below), the Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares
granted under the Performance Units.



(b) The Standstill Period is the two-year period beginning after the expiration of the
Measurement Period on the date of issuance of the Shares to the Participant (and will correspond
under French law to the “période d’obligation de conservation” as referred to under section
L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code). However, the Standstill Period shall not be applicable
to the extent provided under French law in the event of death of the Participant or disability of
the Participant corresponding to the classification of the second or third categories of Article
L.341-4 of the French social security code.



6. Transfer of Shares. Except as otherwise provided below and subject to the Company’s
insider trading policies, after the Measurement and Standstill Periods have expired, the
Participant shall have the right to transfer the Shares without any limitations. However, Shares
cannot be transferred (i) during the ten trading days preceding and following the date on which the
consolidated accounts or annual accounts of the Company are published and (ii) during a period (x)
starting from the date on which the officers and directors of the Company became aware of any
information which, if published, could significantly affect the Company’s market price and (y)
ending at the close of the tenth trading day following the publication of the information. In
addition, ten percent (10%) of the Shares cannot be transferred until termination of the
Participant’s termination of employment or service.

other social or national identification number), salary, nationality, job title, number of Shares
held and the details of all options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, cancelled,

administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant
understands that the Data may be transferred to the Company, or to any third parties assisting in
the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, including any requisite transfer to
a broker or other third party or with whom Shares acquired under the Performance Units or cash from
the sale of such Shares may be deposited. The Participant acknowledges that recipients of the Data
may be located in different countries, and those countries may have data privacy laws and
protections different from those in the country of the Participant’s residence. Furthermore, the
Participant acknowledges and understands that the transfer of the Data to the Company, or to any
third parties, is necessary for the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant
understands that the Data will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer and
manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. For all transfers, the Participant’s employer

17. No Entitlement or Claims for Compensation.



(a) The grant of Performance Units under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Board, and
the Plan may be suspended or terminated by UGI at any time. The grant of an award in one year or
at one time does not in any way entitle the Participant to a grant in the future. The Plan is
wholly discretionary in nature and is not to be considered part of the Participant’s normal or
expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The
value of the Performance Units is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope
of the Participant’s employment contract (if any).



(b) The Participant shall have no rights to compensation or damages as a result of the
Participant’s cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, whether or not in breach of
contract, insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Participant’s ceasing to have rights
under this grant as a result of such cessation or from the loss or diminution in value of such
rights. If the Participant did acquire any such rights, the Participant is deemed to have waived
them irrevocably by accepting the grant.
